Shutter Speed Bracket

Capture selected shutter speeds in one workflow run

Shutter Speed Bracket captures a series of images while changing shutter speed between captures. Use it for HDR exposure sets, highlight or shadow recovery, motion blur testing, and panning-effect comparisons.

Before you start

Shutter Speed Bracket requires Manual exposure mode. Manual mode keeps aperture and ISO fixed while the workflow changes shutter speed. This makes exposure brightness change with shutter speed, which is the normal starting point for HDR exposure capture.

Shutter Speed Bracket can start when the camera is connected, the connection is not changing, capture is ready, shutter speed is settable, at least one selected shutter speed value is available, and no other workflow is running.

Choosing values

Available lists the shutter speeds reported by the connected body. Move the values you want into Selected. The workflow captures the Selected values in the order shown.

Selected shutter speeds are saved with the current profile.

Running Shutter Speed Bracket

  1. Connect the camera.
  2. Set exposure mode to Manual.
  3. Open Workflows/Bracket/Shutter Speed Bracket.
  4. Move the shutter speeds you want into Selected.
  5. Select Start.

The app shoot/status area reports progress as each shutter speed is set and captured. When the final capture has finished, the workflow restores the original shutter speed when possible and reports Bracket complete.

Cancelling

Select Cancel to stop the remaining queued captures. If a capture has already started, the camera may still need to finish the active capture or transfer before cancellation is complete.

Saving Shutter Speed bracket files

Use a Path template with @GRP when all images from one Shutter Speed bracket run should land in the same generated folder. Open the Bracket help page for a full bracket workflow overview and Path grouping example.
